Comrade Sviderskii!

Thank you for the materials you sent.448

I hardly expect to find time to read them.

If you need them, write.

A. D. Tsiurupa has fallen ill with a nervous complaint (these famous Germans treated him only for his heart)
and will be staying in Germany for a long time.

We must get to work without him; think seriously about who and how; consult with Stalin.

Your Lenin

P. S. I believe that you must first recover completely, have all your teeth restored and
learn to eat with them, and then you must undertake РаКри449 with all your strength. Form a group of reliable
people, 2-3, from the collegium, entrust them to begin now a fundamental reorganization
(instead of 8000—2000, raising quality; seriously study normalization and so forth).

P. S. Please "turn away" Fossa very politely. I cannot promise a meeting.450
